Total rudeness

I cannot believe how rude people can be on here. Having told someone that my mother had passed away, she then thought it was funny to call me a robot and find my mother. Absolutely shocking
SW-User
I’m sorry that happened, people have said some really vile things to me on here. I’ve been told that my parents are better off dead so they no longer have to see me, I’ve been told my mum should have had an abortion, I’ve been told I should kill myself. This site can be fun and supportive, but it can also be brutal and toxic

@SW-User oh my goodness that’s terrible. So sorry to hear that
@SW-User So true. I'm sorry you dealt with this, and I'm unsure as to why some people want to laugh at everything, but this to me.... is a good share of you, and I feel the parent author (op) appreciated.

A lot of courtesy and common civility seems to have fallen by the wayside. Much of it has to do with the way kids are raised now, never being told no, no winners and losers. Much of what we were taught as children prior to these newer Generations was enforced by fear and corporal punishment, "God will punish you for cursing", "wait till your Father gets home" and those things had to change but perhaps we have gone too far and become too permissive now as there never seems to be any consequences for transgressions so what incentive do they have to be courteous or even kind?

@helenS Fair point and youth have always rebelled against their elders but it's only since the 1970's where there have been almost no consequences for bad behaviour for them. This more than anything has led to a loss of common courtesy, not only in the young but the older ones who were raised in these more permissive times with little to no consequences for behaving poorly towards others.

@spjennifer I think it’s more to do with this new discourse pushed by the very people who claim to want to protect people’s feelings. You don’t have to treat anyone else with any decency anymore because anyone you dislike is instantly a ‘troll’ and so it’s okay to mistreat them.

@pianoplayingsteve Some of it is that but this decline in courtesy and civility towards others didn't just start to happen recently, it's been in decline since the 1960's, since they banned corporal punishment in schools and since many more families where both parents are working and the kids are being raised by daycare and television happened.

I don't get it.
@Royrogers Why did you mention being a good cook? I don't mean to get off topic, but I'm just a curious person.
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@MsSwan I was telling her how good a cook mother was
@Royrogers Ohhh.

Sorry for your loss. ❤️
helenS · 36-40, F
I am very sorry for your loss, it's with so much sadness when a parent passes away. 😕
Please forgive me, but I do not understand why she called you a robot. What sort of comment is that? Was it meant as some sort of joke??
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@helenS she made it quite clear it was not intended to be nice

@Royrogers sorry for your loss ☹️

It is because there are a lot of bot accounts on here and it is hard to know which ones are real people or not.

Plus on here it is best to not share personal problems because people will just mock later.
People can be pretty insensitive.
DarkSideoftheMoon · 31-35, F
I think some users are a bit... off. Not an excuse though. Take SW with a grain of salt. Theres a lot of unstable people here but good people too. My condolences.
kodiac · 22-25, M
Maybe they meant bot? Either way not a nice reply.Got just the thing to deal with them
You have my condolences. A loss of a parent is hard on anyone unless they hate their parent. A possible explanation, you don't need, as you lost someone you loved, so my heartfelt condolences the same.
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@Royrogers I hope you find your way to heal through your loss. Never mind those not listening to you in your time of need.

[quote] call me a robot and find my mother [/quote]

What does that even mean?
I'm terribly sorry... just try to focus upon the grief you really are feeling, they don't know. If it means anything to you, my ex partner ran out from my father's funeral from seeing my ex, a long time ago. Don't focus on the stupidity, insensitivity, of others when you are hurting.

...did she mean chatbot?

It is so hard to understand why anyone should be so cruel; but like those who hurl foul obscenities and even death-threats around the so-called "social"-media for no purpose, they are merely cheap little [b]cowards[/b].

{@royrogers] 😞sorry for your loss you have my deepest condolences . some people are so incredible how insensitive they can be . it is though there brain and mouth are out of co-ordination somewhere
rfatoday · 61-69, M
That's unfortunate and my condolences on losing your mother. I learned long ago... never take anything or anyone seriously on any anonymous chat forum. Life goes much easier that way.
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@rfatoday thank you
allygator18 · 22-25, F
I'm outrageous that you're shocked at someone rude shocking behavior.or is it outrageous shocking behavior, no it was shocking and I'm outraged at their shocking
That is how the internet is people feel they can say or do whatever they want without repercussions
helenS · 36-40, F
@ExperienceDLT It's not the internet. The people in my village are just the same. Just the same. Most are beautiful people – but some are real fuckoffers.
@helenS people get more mouthy when online and hid behind a screen though
helenS · 36-40, F
@ExperienceDLT You should visit our local beer pub 😏

All you have to do is click on a few questions and look at the most upvoted comments to see why everyone here is trying to be a comedian. 🙄
@SW-User 🖐️
Funlov · M
I should’ve just said fuck her
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@Funlov I try to be nice to everyone
Funlov · M
@Royrogers I don’t if they’re rude. I’ll give them what they deserve. If they’re nice they get nice back that’s life you give and receive exactly what you put out like hard work you work hard you get rewarded.
Funlov · M
Duck her she’s just a piece of trash sorry for your loss 🙏
hunkalove · 61-69, M
Just wait'll they tell you about Dale and Trigger!
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@hunkalove pardon
graphite · 61-69, M
Sorry to hear of your loss. 😥
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
That is strange for sure
Sadly I can believe this.
I’m so sorry someone was that heartless. I really wonder about some folks here, sometimes.
My sincerest condolences. 😞
helenS · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard I see SW as a village where there are good people, but also some stinkers.
Sounds like you won an argument, crushingly
